The author who wrote some of the most memorable romance stories, like The Notebook, The Last Song, A Walk to Remember, Dear John, The Lucky One, Safe Haven, has another bestseller, The Best of Me, hitting the big screen this year.

The Best of Me tells a story about two high school sweethearts, played by Liana Liberato and Luke Bracey, who reunite 20 years later in their hometown and rekindle their lost love.

Of course, like every Sparks film, there are forces holding the two lovers, now played by James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan, from being together even 20 years later.

The Best of Me is everything we could ask for in a romance film: high school sweethearts, everlasting love… and a kissing in the rain scene!

The film is directed by Michael Hoffman and is set to release October 17.

Grab some tissues and watch the trailer above! Are you excited to see The Best of Me?

The 17-time bestselling author lightheartedly shared: “After I wrote The Notebook so many years ago the first thing I said to my agent was, ‘Well I hope you’re not expecting another one cause that’s it! I have no more ideas, I used them all up on book number.’ Well, here I am eighteen books later so I guess it’s gone okay.”

Okay, it has!

And we’re glad he kept on going at it, with upcoming novel turned flick Safe Haven hitting theaters on Valentine’s Day February 14.

“Safe Haven” tells the story of a young woman [Katie] with a mysterious past who lands in Southport, North Carolina where her bond with a widower [Alex] forces her to confront the dark secret that haunts her. The film is being directed by Lasse Hallström and is scheduled to be released in February 2013.

We asked Nicholas how he felt about these 2 being cast in the film. Here is what he told us: “Josh is not just handsome and charismatic, but decent and kind, exactly the kind of guy I imagined his character of Alex to be. Julianne is talented, beautiful, and unbelievably hardworking, but also has a measure of surprising vulnerability, critical to the role of Katie.”
